KORAN WAR

Each war has an own specific political goal and having a historical context between the conflicted parties or states. The North and South Koran war considered as one of the major war in the international politics which was aiming to unify the Korean peninsula. It was started as a civil war later the issue was manipulated by the great powers as the capitalist and communist ideology. Consequently, the first episode of the Cold war between the United States and Soviet Union/China formally began where the thousands of American troops and Korean civilians died. There was a great loss for the Korean, but no one gained the united territory. A countless number of families were separated in the war for decades. As a result, the Korean war became a global dispute between the western and eastern concept. Here, the paper examines the cause of Korea war based on the contemporary academic literature. Keywords: Ideological disputes, Korean Peninsula, Imbalance of power, Functioning core, Disconnected gap.

Part three of the NK NEWS Study Guide focuses on eight of the Korean peninsula’s most crucial years between 1945 and 1953. It was during these years that the Korean peninsula embarked on a path of internal division, a division that still persists today and continues to influence Northeast Asian stability. It was this division that determined the size and role of U.S. involvement in the Asia-Pacific, the nature of U.S. relations with China, Japan, its neighbours, and the bitter rivalry between Washington D.C. and Moscow. The Cold War has long ended, but the seeds sewn in this period still affect contemporary political and diplomatic rhetoric. Why did the two sides of a decolonized and liberated Korea remain divided after what was supposed to be a ‘temporary’ partition in 1945? How did they drift so drastically apart over the next five years before the Korean War broke out?

This article reviews the 2014 book co-edited by Donald W. Boose, Jr. and James I. Matray, The Ashgate Research Companion to the Korean War. The essay evaluates the book in relation to the historiography of the Korean conflict, outlines areas where future research needs to be carried out, reflects on methodological issues related to the field of military history, and, with reference to Michael Hunt and Steven Levine's book, Arc of Empire, discusses the Korean War as part of broader histories of empire.

This chapter provides an overview of key questions, issues, and debates in the scholar ship on the political history of Korea from 1905 to 1945. Japan placed Korea in protec torate status in 1905 and colonized the country in 1910. After nearly forty years under colonial rule, the dominant narrative in the scholarship in South Korea from 1945 to the mid-1980s focused on Japanese colonial oppression and the Korean struggle against it to achieve national independence. The focus of this chapter is on subsequent approaches that have supplemented, qualified, challenged, and refined interpretations of this era. These include analysis of the causes behind the emergence of modern nationalism in Ko rea; the internal political polarization between left and right and the internal conflicts within each camp that formed the domestic foundations for the division of the Korean Peninsula after 1945; the bureaucratization that, according to some scholars, served as the template for the developmental state that emerged in South Korea during the 1960s; and the dissolution of absolute monarchy as a viable system of governance in the post-1945 period.

Given the extent to which the decade figures into contemporary historical analyses as a unit of periodization, focusing on a given ten-year span hardly seems argumentative in itself. Yet, that is precisely the case with regard to the temporal framing of “Warfare and the Re-making of Korea in the 1950s,” the recent forum in a special double-issue of the Journal of American-East Asian Relations co-edited by Steven Hugh Lee and Janice C.H. Kim. In Korean War historiography, the dogged recurrence of a long-standing debate over the war’s origins has meant that interpretations of the war most often build upon an exploration of its causes and precursors in the late 1940s or earlier. For this volume to focus instead on the ‘1950s’ therefore sets aside the war-origins debate and instead brings attention to the impact of the Korean War’s period of major military hostilities (1950-1953) from a perspective that carries the analysis forward to the war’s understudied aftermath, including post-armistice reconstruction and social rehabilitation. https://issforum.org/reviews/PDF/AR855-5.pdf

IJRISS

The paper examines the USA and North Korea Relations from 1945 till date. It discusses the Korean peninsula under the control of Japan and China. It analyzes San Francisco Treaty and USA intervention. The relationship between USA and North Korea in the 20 th and 21 st Centuries came to focus. The study relied on primary sources like oral interview and secondary sources such as books, newspapers, journal articles, speeches, theses, dissertations. It was found that her geographical position placed her in a precarious situation hence Japan, China and Russia exploited before USA intervention. It was also found that the involvement of USA in Korean civil war against North Korea strained the relationship between the two countries. It was found that over 3 millions North Koreans died in that war because of USA involvement. Again, the dismissal of General Douglas by Harry Truman, who was planning to use nuclear weapons on North Korea came to focus. In conclusion, the constant test of rockets by North Korea in Korean peninsula and USA imposition of sanctions on her, demanding full denuclearization before the lifting of sanctions strained the relationship between the two countries.
